The responsiblity for children's behavior lies with the adult charged with the care of the children. Children will respond to an adult's discipline if they sense sincerity and commitment on the part of the adult. Progressive discipline usually is more effective in the long-term, although in the short-term, can be very challenging to maintain.
Thank you very much.

I believe the Japan was correct in rejecting China's demand to pay compensatory damages to the Chinese. This was an unfortunate incident which began as a small incident and grew dramatically. Incidents such as these need to be kept in proper perspective.
China should have accepted the release of the Chinese Boat Captain without pressing the issue further.
Both China and Japan need to move forward for the greater good of both countries and to preserve stability in the region.
